Application fiife'd February 28, 1908. seriai'no. 418,896.

Tocll whom 'it may concern: Be it known that I, JACOB C. H. VOELOKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and 5. State of Kentucky, have inventednew and useful Improvements in'Faucets, of which-the following is a specification. p This invention relates to object of the invention is to provide a faucet 1 primarily intend ed for dispensing carbonated the li ui'd.

Wit these objects in view the invention quids, whereby the liquid may be drawn from the faucet at a full flow or at a jet spray, the parts being so arranged that the valves are automatically closed under presg 15 sure of springs and whereby the liq'uidmay be dispensed either at a full flow or a jet spray independent of-each other or the spray and flow of the liqliiid ejected at the same time, thus thoroug y agitating and mixing resides in the novel construction'of faucets, hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a faucet constructed in the body of my improved faucet.

.1 is provided with a central passage 2, com-- accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section upon the line.22 of. Fig. 1. i p

In the drawings, the numeral 1 designates The body municating with anoifset 3, provided upon the body of the faucet. The offset '3 is provided with a vertical member 4. The member 4 has an L-sha ed passage'or channel 5,

communicating wit the passage provided in the offset 3 of the body. The verticaland horizontal walls of the L-shaped passage are suitably screw threaded as at 6 and adapted for the reception of threaded bushings 7 and 8. The bushings are each provided with a flange 9, adapted to contact with the outer faces of the walls of the'member 4 within which are provided the L-shaped passages 5.-

The bushings are provided with a threaded extension 10, adapted for the reception of a' threaded collar 11. The collar 11 is provided with a central channel 12, and the bushings 7 and 8 are likewise rovided with central channel's alining with t e channel of the collars. The bushings 7 and 8 are for the rece tion ofa valve 14, provided upon '56 suitable V vs stems 15. The valve stems faucets, and the nozzle.

rovided withsuitable valve seats 13, each eing adapted Y be ispense' 15 are threadedat their outer extremity to provide for the rece tion of suitable disks or buttons 16, by ,w ich the valves are opera-ted. Each of the valve stems 15 are provided with a suitable. collar 1.7 ada ted to abut against tlfe inner faceof the wa lof the channel 12 rovided in the collars 11.

-The bushings 7 and 8 are provided with annular inturned portions adapted for the reception 'of' a sultable packing 18. The

packing 18 is retained in position by a suit-- able washer 19, and interposed between this washer and the collar 17 of the valve stems is a helical spring 20, which is normally adapted to force the collar 12 against the inner wall of the channel 11, and thus s e. cu'rely position the valves upon their seats.

The bushing 8 is provided with a suitable opening 22, communicating with an opening 23 within the member 4 which in turn-comvided within the nozzle 25. j

It-will be seen that when pressure is ex erted upon the vertical disk, the valve 13 is unseated and the carbonated fluid allowed to municates with the outlet passage 24 prov flow through the passage 22 of the bushing passage 26, communicating with-a similar passage 27, provided within the body of the.

member 4. The passage 27 communicates with the passage 24 of the nozzle.25,. and is provided with a pipe extension 28, leading within the passa e 24 and terminatingat a slight distance It will be'seen that when pressure is exerted uponthe knob or disk 16 of the horizontal bushing 7, that the value 14 is unseated and the liquid allowed to flowthrough the passages 26 and 27 and through the extension 28, when it is dispensed through the mouth of the nozzle in a s ray.

elow the mouth of the.

have a From the above descri tion it Wil be noted that I have provide a; simple, cheap atedliquids, one in which the liquid may be dis ensediat afull flow or at a jet How in e endentl or by which the liquidmay d eta combined full and jet and eflicient faucet for dispensing carbonv flow, the valves of the faucet being so arranged as to automatically close when pressure upon the valve stems is released. Havin thus fully described the invention what is c aimed as new is:

A faucet having an Lasheped channel C0111- lnunicating with an inlet passage, the right angular walls provided by the L.shaped assege' being provided with bushings, co lars upon the bushings, valve seats upon the bushings, valves having valve stems Within the bushings, the valve stems extending through an opening provided in the collars, packin for the valve stems, a. collar upon the valve stems, a spring upon the stems, contacting with. the collar to normally scat the valves, one of the bushings being provided with an opening communicating with the outlet passage of the faucet, the other bushing being provided with a reduced opening communicating with the outlet passage of the faucet, and a pipe extension provided upon the reduced opening and extending Within the outlet passage and terminating in the mouth thereof. I

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

JACOB C. H. VOELCKER.
